"Start of the Summer" stars Devin Trez, Dillon Diaz and Zeno Ray. Konnor's sophomore scene as director, starring Ray with Adrian Hart, is slated to premiere in early September.
To celebrate his first venture behind the camera, Konnor is taking over Noir Male’s Twitter on Friday, and doing an IG Live chat hosted by Noir Male brand ambassador Brandon Karson, taking place at 2 p.m. ET on the Noir Male Instagram page @officialnoirmale.
Konnor's history with Noir Male goes back to its formation in 2018, when he starred in a scene with Armond Rizzo that went on to win the GayVN Award for Best Duo Scene. He also claimed the first Noir Male Man of the Month 2019 title.
Commented Konnor, “It’s a pleasure to return to Noir Male as a director! I filmed in the very first Noir Male scene, which received the GayVN Award that year. Now I’ve come full circle, returning to work behind the camera. All of the models brought their A-game and I think we made some really great porn. I can’t wait for y’all to see!”
Having been named CAM4's first gay male brand ambassador, Konnor in 2020 becaome a Falcon/NakedSword exclusive for studio shoots. He’s a Fleshjack Boy and the founder of Haus of Konnor, a management company for BIPOC performers.
“Max Konnor has been integral to Noir Male’s popularity and success from day one. We are excited for this new collaboration with Haus of Konnor and Max. He brings a welcome perspective to production that is crucial to the culture of the brand and its evolution,” Mile High VP Jon Blitt said. “I presented this opportunity to him knowing he has what it takes and am so impressed with what he has brought to the table as a writer and director. We are honored to have him join our directing ranks.”
